Russ was always such a sweet, funny, kind and super smart guy. He had such a wonderful sense of humor and was always smiling. I worked with him back in the Raytheon days in Andover. There was a team engagement event for Easter. Russ dressed up in the Easter bunny costume. It was so hot that day and we had to stop several times so he could take the head off and cool off. He teased me about payment and I told him I owed him a six pack. When he retired, I paid up. He laughed so hard- I brought the six pack....of root beer.
To his family- he was the best of the best. Thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
